The major hurdle to the narcotics dealers remains the pesky Green Bay detective Cale Van Waring. A miracle saves Cale from drowning in the deep bay, deposited there by drug thugs. Continuing his pursuit, a pair of final death battles for possessing a formula transpires.

I had to keep turning the pages to figure out who did what and why." "I encountered witch doctors, voodoo, the dark web, child abduction, human trafficking, murder, illegal drugs, mystery, crime, suspense, and romance in this exciting book. Janson Mancheski did a fantastic job putting all of these different aspects in a storyline that pulled me in during the first few pages. The character development was outstanding, and I could visualize each of them. The drawings of the formula for the new drug made the story feel more realistic." "I couldn't put it down. Some predictability- still well done and some twists. It is rare that I gasp out loud while reading and this book got me a couple of times!"
